Recording the behavior, growth and antics of our foster animals.

Adopted! Leah

Meet Leah! She is a beautiful 3 month old black kitten that came to the Anti-Cruelty Society from living as a feral. She has made amazing progress living in a home with humans and can’t wait to continue her development with you!

Leah is quite a playful little girl. She loves to play with strings anywhere…on a stick, hung from her perch, your shoelaces, anything will do! She’s also developed a love for tiny toy mice and paper or plastic “crinkly” toys that make noise when she pounces on them.

Leah loves to cuddle, and is fond of lying on top of her human while the said human is lying down reading or sleeping. She’s discovered the joys of burrowing underneath the sheets and blankets on a bed to take naps and will, on occasion, do so while her human is sleeping.

Leah also shows a preference to cuddle in the early mornings between 7:30 and 8:30, usually about the time most people get up to go to work. She is very active playing at night but won’t pounce on her sleeping human with any intent to play.

Leah is still getting used to living in a home and so she will have a few things still to learn.

She has a habit of eating her food as quickly as possible. She has gotten better about this while being in foster care but will take some more patient love to show her that any meal she is eating won’t be her last.

She does occasionally play-bite when she’s overstimulated but a piece of string or laser pointer helps. Leah has never caused any injury as her play-bites are gentle and she will realize quickly that she’s biting her human, therefore licking and making amends before darting off in search of other adventures.

Leah responds best to new people who go slowly and don’t try to pick her up immediately. A family who has experience with cats would do best. As she is still very small and skittish she may not be ideal for a home with small children.

Overall, Leah is a very beautiful, sweet little girl that’s had a bit of a rough start in life, but wants to share the rest of her’s with someone kind, patient and always ready to play with her.
